Vermont Weddings and Receptions 
The Phineas Swann Bed and Breakfast Inn is the perfect place to celebrate your intimate Vermont wedding. Licensed to hold dinner parties for 24, and receptions for 125, our dining room adjoins our sun room and we have seating for over 30 for private parties and events. Intimate weddings for both gay and straight couples are our specialty!
At the Phineas Swann Bed and Breakfast Inn, we believe your Vermont wedding should reflect your personal style, so we offer several choices for the wedding reception. For couples who prefer an elegant ceremony with a few family and friends, we offer our 'Just the Ten of Us' Vermont Elopement Package which includes a ceremony on our grounds, justice of the peace, bouquet/ boutonniere, filing fees for the marriage certificate, a wedding cake and champagne reception for up to 8 people, a dozen roses and chocolate-dipped strawberries,and a two night rental of the Honeymoon Suite for $1499.99 including tax and gratuity (a higher package rate of $1875.00 applies for Christmas Week, Presidents' Day Week, and Fall Foliage). Package is subject to room availability. Our photographer, Lenny Christopher, offers photo packages starting at $749 to $999 payable to him and not a part of the package, depending on the time involved, and we can put you in touch with him once you finalize your dates.
For couples who prefer a grander reception, we can provide a service on our grounds followed by either a sit down dinner or buffet. For details on pricing, please contact us.
When you plan your wedding reception at the Phineas Swann Bed and Breakfast Inn, we help you through all of the details to ensure your wedding day is as special as can be. We work with many top-notch wedding vendors who are known for their excellence, such as Tiffany, a wonderful baker in town who makes New York City-quality catered wedding cakes and Olga, who creates floral arrangements from her own extensive flower gardens.
If a couple wishes to do so, they may reserve the entire inn for the comfort of their guests. Full inn rentals (every room booked) merit a 10 percent discount with no black out dates. We do, however, ask for at least 2 weeks notice.

Vermont Gay Marriage / Gay Weddings
Vermont is a state of "Firsts". The first state to abolish slavery, the first state to give women the right to vote, the first state to recognize gay and lesbian civil unions, and now, for the first time ever as of April 7th, 2009, the first state in the Union to formally vote through our elected representatives, in such an overwhelming majority as to actually overturn our governor's veto, to acknowledge the rights of gay and lesbian citizens to MARRY with the same rights and obligations of non-gay couples.
We are very proud of our state's inclusive history, and want to make sure everyone knows that we are open and welcoming to couples of all sexual orientations. We have specialized in civil unions for gay and lesbian couples for over 9 years now, and are proud to say we will be celebrating several of our first lesbian / gay weddings this Summer. Of course we have always assisted male/female couples with their wedding arrangements!!!
If you have ever considered a Vermont wedding, now would be a wonderful time to schedule your special event. Our wedding planners and vendors would be more than happy to help you plan your perfect day!! Give us a call for more information...
